Bluetooth tethering and update - so mad!!!!

I have an unlimited data plan that I have had for years!! I have been able to go into my system settings click thethering & Mobile hotspot and then click Bluetooth Tethering and I can connect to my ipad!!! Since the update over the weekend this is no longer true, instead boxes appear that they are checking my subscription and then tells me my order can't be processed! I contact chat support, they told me it was new thru Android but VW had to approve it! They want to charge me $30 for something I already am paying for (unlimited data)! Needless to say I'm pissed! I've tried several apps as well and nothing will connect to my ipad unless I do a wireless hotspot and I don't like that idea, I like the bluetooth connection straight from my phone... Any suggestions?! SO MAD!!!!!
